"I Saw On Twitter That My Husband Has Filed For Divorce": 19 Celeb Breakups That Played Out Verrry Publicly

He continued, "So you have something very real suddenly thrown into a very unreal space: tabloids, social media, press, where it is then dissected, speculated on, pulled out of shape beyond recognition. And the truth is, to that last point, there is always going to be a gap between what is known and what is said. I have made my peace with that."

He also said they made the mutual decision to "keep the more private details of [their] relationship private."

She also said, "It wasn't bad. I think, you know, I have to say the press was very respectful and very nice. And I thought that they were gonna invent more things, and you know how it usually is. I was surprised and, you know, they, they kind of just said what it was and, and that was it."

Then, in her 2022 memoir Managing Expectations, she reflected on the surreal feeling of watching her breakup play out on tabloid covers in her local grocery store.

She wrote, "It's funny now, when I think about walking down the magazine aisle in my local supermarket at midnight with my best friend, we were like, 'Are you seeing this? This is super weird.' My friend, Alexandra was like, 'Oh my god, I can't believe this is happening, like, I feel like we're in a movie. I would totally watch this movie, even though I know you're super heartbroken, but this is really weird.'"

The attention continued as she and Matt promoted Good Will Hunting through awards season. She said, "There's a guy who'd been sent, the cameraman at the Academy Awards — he'd literally been told to, like, stay on me and, like, he was so in my grill, he was like a wildlife photographer waiting for the kill. He was just waiting for the moment that I was going to break, or something was going to happen, or I was going to get up and scream. He'd been told, 'Stay on her, bud. Something's gonna happen.'"

However, her dad sat with her through the Oscars, making her feel protected.

She said, "I look back, and it just feels really overly dramatic and kind of funny — brutal, but funny."

"I didn't know how to handle it because I never thought I was going to be famous in that way. I remember having this moment when I was getting booed so hard in Philly, and I thought to myself, 'Why exactly are they booing me, though? Is it just because I'm That Guy from TV? Do they think I was trying to be famous? Is it because they think I disrespected the game of basketball?' The last one killed me because all I've ever wanted to be known for was basketball. My whole life, I was a really confident, happy person. But nothing can prepare you for the feeling of walking down the street, or being anywhere, really — the grocery store, the gas station — and having people literally running up on you and trying to film you, trying to grab you, saying God knows what."

He said that he "dealt with a lot of anxiety" and was "in a dark place" for about a year.

He said, "I didn't want to be Kris Humphries. It's the craziest feeling in the world, not wanting to be yourself. And I didn't even want to say anything to defend myself because it felt like I couldn't win. You can't go up against the tabloids. You can't go up against that machine. There's no point. And even if I played that game, I felt like it would be disrespecting the game of basketball."

She continued, "I just kept having to say to myself, 'None of this is true. You are a good mum, and you've never been a partier.'...I mean, it's unfathomable the amount of people that will just make shit up and put it up based on a picture. A picture might tell a thousand words, but it's not my story. It felt like I was watching a movie of my life that I hadn't written, hadn't produced, or starred in. It was shocking. I'm still in shock."

"I knew that announcing it or sharing it with the world would mean there would be a reverb, and I would have to deal with the onset of that...There is a time to be open, and there's a time not to be, and I chose that time to be open. I'm very happy with what I did, and I don't want to do it anymore. I don't want to share that part of myself anymore," she said.

His since-deleted breakup tweet said, "To address speculation – myself and Rita ended our relationship some time ago. She is a beautiful, talented woman & I wish her all the best."

"I don't know if it was because business was mixed with personal or what," she said.

However, two weeks later, Taylor was publicly spotted with her new partner, Tom Hiddleston, and Calvin unfollowed her, wiped her from his social media, and seemingly made multiple shady comments about her online.

He continued, "I figure if you're happy in your new relationship you should focus on that instead of trying to tear your ex bf down for something to do...I know you're off tour and you need someone new to try and bury like Katy [Perry] ETC but I'm not that guy, sorry. I won't allow it. [sic]"

However, a few months later, he told British GQ, "It's very difficult when something I consider so personal plays out very publicly. The aftermath of the relationship was way more heavily publicized than the relationship itself. When we were together, we were very careful for it not to be a media circus. She respected my feelings in that sense. I'm not good at being a celebrity. But when it ended, all hell broke loose. Now I see that Twitter thing as a result of me succumbing to pressure. It took me a minute to realize that none of that matters. I'm a positive guy."

At the time, Lindsay told Us Weekly, "Everyone's turned on me...I'm just really hurt! The whole situation is sick."

She continued, "PLEASE leave me ALONE. and stop staying in the room below me, you've woken me and my mother up. go to bed. keep cheating u win. [sic]"

"We appreciate the continued privacy through these times," he said.

She continued, "Obviously, I didn't say too much about it; I briefly mentioned it. I wasn't going to not mention it...You're in control at the end of the day and I briefly mentioned it, kind of said what happened, but I would never get into detail because it is personal."

She continued, "It just hit me like a freight train. I wanted us both to move on and be happy. People see the need for sides. There are no sides — there's no winning or losing in a breakup."

He also said, "I'm a little impulsive. But that was probably one of the most unhinged things I've ever done in my life, and I'll probably have six other marriages."

Additionally, he apologized to Shania Twain, who performed at their wedding, for wasting her time, and to Kim Kardashian, who "was really sweet to fly [them] all out and take care of [them] and pay for everything."

She also said, "In finding this freedom, I also found myself. This has been a journey back to myself, and the way there was through my music. I’m in a moment where the worst has happened, and this process woke up a new sense of autonomy and independence in me."

Jason's reps told Variety, "Mr. Sudeikis had no prior knowledge of the time or place that the envelope would have been delivered as this would solely be up to the process service company involved and he would never condone her being served in such an inappropriate manner."

"To try to sabotage that was really vicious. But I had a job to do; I’m not easily distracted. But, you know, sadly, it was not something that was entirely surprising to me. I mean, there’s a reason I left that relationship...The only people who suffered were my kids, because they’ll have to see that, and they shouldn’t ever have to know that happened. For me, it was appalling, but the victims were an 8- and 5-year-old, and that’s really sad. I chose to become an actress; I willingly walked into the spotlight. But it’s not something my children have asked for. And when my kids are dragged into it, it’s deeply painful," she said.

"And the other thing was, it was at the height of all that paparazzi madness, and in London where there was an epidemic of bad behavior. They knew where I would be every night," she said.

She said that she was in such a state of "shock" that she can't recall six weeks of that period of her life. However, she handled the situation by taking legal action.

She said, "I'm pretty resilient. There were moments where it came close to making me really feel crazy, and it was incredibly aggressive. The way I managed it was to get really litigious, start suing. I secretly recorded paparazzi on a lighter that was a camera and got a privacy act taken to a high court to get the law changed in England, which essentially means that if I'm anywhere or coming out of anywhere where I can expect privacy, they're not allowed to take my photo. It was a long battle, and I think I was really paranoid. There was so much noise that it was hard to think straight and focus on my work, which I always took very seriously. It ate everything else. I look back on it and wonder how I did get through it — but I did."

"Can you imagine if I did that shit? If I was just like, 'Yeah, I was just fucking her 'cause I was bored, and then Fortnite came out.' It would be insane," he said. "Something had to happen to her. There had to be some repercussions, right? No, she won Billboard's Woman of the Year and I got called 'butthole eyes.'"
